Terrorist Group Profile/ Policy Analysis Paper
This assignment will produce a term paper examining the
terrorist group Army of God and then relating policies we have
studied that help or would help counter the threat.
PART I
First, in approximately 1,000 words complete a profile of Army
of God. The profile should include a discussion of the group’s
ideology, targeting, tactics, capability, and overall goals; an
analysis of attacks, and any statements or propaganda released
by the group (elements). Place a transition between sections
reviewing part one and transitioning to part two.
PART II
Utilize the group profile in the second portion of the paper to
conduct an analysis of a U.S. homeland security policy or
policies. This section of the paper should focus on one or a few
U.S homeland security policies to assess its ability to counter
the threat posed by the Army of God. Introduce the policy,
explain it, and then analyze it against the information gathered
on the group (the elements - ideology, targeting, etc). Select a
policy or policies consistent with the group with a clear link
between the group and the selected homeland security policy
(ies). If the policy is found deficient, make specific
recommendations for policy change to counter the threat. If the
policies are deemed sufficient to counter the threat, explain the
rationale for your conclusion.
There is a possible 100 points for this assignment based on the
rubric
· 90-100 points A
· 80-89 points B
· 70-79 points C
· 60-69 points D
· Below 60 F
Format:
· Thirteen full pages in length to include both parts (not

including cover page or references – but including the abstract)
with the proper margins. Type style Times New Roman, size 12
font, with one inch margins, double spaced.
· Double space between paragraphs – do not triple space. Use
your Paragraph function in Word.
· Double space between paragraphs – do not triple space. Use
the Paragraph function in Word. Adding extra spacing between
paragraphs does not count in meeting the minimum page count.
· APA requirements for format and location of running head,
page numbers, titles and subtitles.
· Title Page: Center your essay title down one third of the page.
Capitalize the appropriate first letters; do not underline,
italicize, or use bold or oversize type. If it is more than one
line, single-space it. Near the bottom of the page, center your
name, course name and number, professor’s name, and the due
date of the paper. The final line should be approximately one
inch from the bottom of the page.
· Your paper must include a thesis statement in your
introduction to both aspects of the paper. There should be then
a paragraph to the first part of your paper. At the end of the
first section, there should be a conclusion to that part of the
paper. The next paragraph should be a transitional paragraph
into part 2 of the paper. Following that discussion, include a
short conclusion to part 2 and then a final conclusion to the
paper as a whole. Transitions between paragraphs and topic
sentences are a must!
· Spelling, grammar, sentence structure, punctuation and other
aspects of the style of your paper are grading points. If you
have any doubt about your writing ability, the Effective Writing
Center will review your paper and provide suggestions.
Remember, this is an upper level college course. Your writing
should reflect this; therefore, you will need to plan and
organization your paper to ensure it is meaningful. A cluster of
internet facts jumbled together is not college level writing.
Logical flow and the organization of your paper are graded
components.

Citations: You must use the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association (APA), 6th Edition format
to cite your research.
· Research and cite a minimum of three online sources, one
journal article and at least one reference from the course texts
(Five source minimum).
· Properly cite all others work. All quoted material must include
quote marks and cites. Even paraphrased material must be cited.
Changing a few words in a sentence is not paraphrasing.
Paraphrasing is restating the ideas in the material using your
own syntax and words. Any statement presented as a fact must
be cited (e.g., Radical Islamic Terrorism is the worst threat to
the United States – opinion or fact?).
· Quoting should be done only sparingly; be sure you have a
good reason to include a direct quotation. If you use a quote,
pick out the most important part of it. Critical thinking is a
grading point and a lot of quotes mean less critical thinking.
· The University’s Plagiarism Policy applies to all written
assignments for this course.
Research: You must conduct academic research to substantiate
your papers. The best source of this information resides in
scholarly articles. These sources may be found in the course
required readings, the UMUC Library, or any other scholarly
sources.
· Be cautious of using internet websites, as the content is often
biased and represents someone’s personal opinion rather than
academic research.
· DO NOT USE websites that are not credible or a valid
academic source. These include dictionaries, infoplease,
encyclopedias, braining quotes, Wikipedia, etc. A blog can be
used but it must be from a reputable source.
· Use the most current information, (e.g., the SBI cannot be
used as a policy response as that project was canceled in 2011).
Anything older than five years (and in most cases that is too

long ago) is not appropriate as policies and statistics change
rapidly.
· Papers with only internet research will receive lower grades.
· Follow APA on how to reference your sources (alpha order,
indentations, etc). Use the APA tutorial or APA Citation
Guidelines in Course Content.
· I use the University’s plagiarism site “Turn It In” to scan your
papers for plagiarism.
